toxo Report post Posted August 28, 2020 Just received a new regular foot for my Adler 69 and I'm having a problem with alignment. Was using a zipper foot before so didn't notice it. The inner foot looks like it wants to go outboard slightly. Is this doable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) You can't move the needle bar no. Just up and down and it will screw up the machines needle hook timing. You can only move the inner foot, but make sure the outer foot are in the right place before tightening the set screw. Its on a square bar but still there can be some wiggling there. Are those aftermarket feet's? My experience is that most feet's needs a little modification before they fit perfectly. However, your needle might also be bent. Put in a new one in to check. It's common to see aftermarket feet's looking like that, Hohsing feet's always looks like that. I think I almost had to modify every one I bought from them. But a genuine DA foot will set you back several hundred dollars each, its worth a little tweaks getting them as cheap as these.

Make the inner foot a little thinner with your grinder/file etc. And turn it to center the needle in the hole. Tor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted August 28, 2020 Well there is a way of adjusting the needle bar and the feed dog to each other, but they are already perfectly in the middle where they suppose to be. The problem is the feet's aren't accurately made, they need modification. You wouldn't have to do those adjustment's every time you change a foot.

Just needed confirmation before I start shaving bits off. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. No worries. I don't think I have any sewing machine foot I didn't have to modify. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
